After the last brick is laid, a family moves into a brand-new house. As
the family grows, the house delights in the sound of laughter echoing in
its halls and the pitter-patter of little feet traversing its floors and
realizes it is no longer just a house. It has become a home--their home.
One day, the family packs up, and with tears in their eyes, they say
goodbye. The house doesn't know if it can ever be happy again until two
men appear. It begins to feel a sliver of hope about this new
family...perhaps it can become a home once more.
Told from the perspective of a house, this story's heartfelt text and
beautiful illustrations convey a warmth of feeling as two families
change and grow at different times within the same four walls.
